St Paul’s student Ryan Doran with his classmates, as well as their form teacher Laura Hollywood and Vice-principal Una McNulty presenting Sally Lynch from  Macmillan Nurses, a cheque  for £1000 from the bake sale

For pupils at St Paul’s High School, Bessbrook a ‘grand’ day was enjoyed by all recently, with a bake sale in aid of Macmillan nurses.

The Year 11 pupils organised the sale and lots of tasty treats were snapped up by staff and students, meaning that a sweet £1000 was raised for a worthy cause.

The sale was organised by Ryan Doran who wanted to pay his own personal tribute to the work of the Macmillan nurses. Ryan’s father passed away in September and the money raised will go towards helping those who cared for him in his final days.

St Paul’s Principal Oliver Mooney paid tribute to Ryan and his Year 11 classmates “I want to congratulate the Year 11 pupils on the money they raised for such a worthy cause. The Macmillan nurses do phenomenal work and Ryan and his family have experienced this at first hand.

“It makes me immensely proud to see St Paul’s pupils working in such a selfless and charitable way.”

St Paul’s pupils presented the cheque to a grateful Sally Lynch from Macmillan Nurses.
